The Cyberstani campaign was a brutal affair. Multiple attempts at invading the planet ended in failure, thus allowing the treacherous Cyborg forces to *somehow* gain enough strength to launch counter-offensives every time a liberation attempt failed, causing a back and forth between Gellert City and Cyberstan.

The Illuminates were nothing like the enemies we faced today: - Appearing out of thin air - Shield barriers - Constant lasers - Force fields that block off escape routes & separate you from your squad - Mind games that cause you to have trouble with your equipment - The Great Eye, itself Even though we wiped them out & the remaining forces left the galaxy, I lost countless comrades.

I myself am a Canadian and despite the destruction of half of our north west, our identity has never been forgotten. My grandfather was in The 1st Newfoundland heavy infantry and so was my father. The 1st was a squad Helldivers from the Newfoundland region who were also veterans of the final war, they served mostly on the cyborg and illuminate front but when they finally stepped foot on the terminid front they saw it as a break more than anything after witnessing what was happening on the other two fronts. These men have long since died but the lives they lived bring pride to Newfoundland and Labrador.

Pop pop Jones served as a Helldiver during the final siege on Kepler Prime, got deployed during the third wave once conctact was made against the Hive Lord C'hkkhuilzta the Carver. He lost a lot that day, took a primary tusk through the lower abdomen and was more full of venom than blood by the time the medics found him, but being that close to the mouth just made tossing the thermite in easy.

Speculative facts high command won't tell you. Cyborgs: augmented themselves to withstand the harsh climate of Cyberstan and complete there works, super earth bombed District 14 and blamed on Cyborgs. Bugs: were a passive species trying to communicate with super earth citizens, but super earth found out that they can be harvested for oil, so started a "war" with them, keeping there numbers at a steady level to keep farming them. Bugs evolved in relation to this. Illuminate: peaceful faction looking for galactic peace, super earth felt threatened by there more advanced technology and well were jealous. Fabricated that they had Weapons of mass destruction (WMD's) that they did not have. And so pushed them out of super earth galactic map range. Cyborgs created the Automaton, and have huge fleets outside the galactic map. The bugs home planet is not within range and is slightly out of galactic reach. Illuminates got pushed from the garlic map and are out there with a grudge most likely.

His patriotic ferver and spirit inspired me to be the best citizen i could be growing up. So, soon after my 18th birthday, when Super Earth declared special military operations against the bots and bugs, i couldnt have ran faster to my local Helldiver recruitment office. While my grandpa had sadly passed by that time, my father told me he would have been so proud of me. Ive been fighting since day one and now that this has become the Second Galatic War, i feel closer to the spirit of my grandfather. This will be the first LIberty Day that i spent away from home and my family, but the new family i have made on my Super Destroyer has allowed me some joy this year.

Let me tell you a story.. I was once a Light Mortar Support and Heavy Combat Unit in the First Galactic War (FGW). I completed four missions before being retired to return home, as my wife was pregnant. We celebrated my return and our future together, but the fighter’s spirit within me was restless. I knew I had a daughter to look forward to now, but that call to service still lingered. So, I joined the Super Earth Armed Forces (SEAF) and continued, supporting my brothers on the frontlines in heavy armor or from behind with mortars. Yet, deep down, I missed my days as a diver. Months later, after the FGW ended, Democratic Officers knocked on our door with a proposition I never expected. They told me I had been selected for the “Future Cryogenics Program.” They explained I would be frozen, held as a back-up in case the war would reignite. I asked about my family and, to my surprise, was told that they would be provided pods as well. Eager and hopeful, we agreed. A week later, we were frozen. When I awoke, I was handed a mission before I could even ask a question. They gave me my own Super Destroyer, the **Pride of War**. My assignment? To rescue the sick children. Clad in a powerful green suit of armor and wielding an even bigger gun, I was sent down with my team. My muscle memory took over, and I fought through the campaign, eventually standing as the only survivor from the start to the finish. Many divers perished quickly; others lasted through one mission only to fall in the next. After the campaign, I searched for answers. I went to my Democratic Officer and asked about my wife and daughter. The response was chilling: **“Future Cryogenic Program preserved only Helldivers and essential personnel.”** I was devastated. My family-my wife, my daughter-had been left behind, a hundred years ago. They weren’t “essential personnel.” They hadn’t been saved. I was left to finish two campaigns before I could return to Super Earth, so I fought on. Through the Terminid and Automaton fronts, I completed my duty, but not without cost. I lost an arm and a leg, replaced with cybernetic parts, but it earned me my ticket home. When I finally returned to my old address, our house was still there, just as I remembered. I knocked, and a black woman answered. She noticed I was a Helldiver and invited me in for some Liber Tea. I asked her about the previous owners, explaining that I was over 100 years old. She apologized, explaining the house had been vacant for many years, with the last owners leaving over a century ago. My wife, my daughter… I would never know what happened to them. I thanked the woman and returned to my destroyer. My next mission was my last. During an extraction attempt on E-710, we were left without reinforcements. Only another veteran from the FGW and I remained, stranded on the planet. As our extraction window closed, we were faced with a choice: run back to the Zone and face punishment for a failed mission, or stay. That’s when he told me: he wasn’t a Helldiver anymore. After Super Earth had abandoned his family, he had found another path. He told me that the Chaosdivers had given him a way out. He offered me the same, urging me to choose quickly-either kill him and try to escape or stay and join him in the chaos. I raised my rifle, hesitating. I had served Super Earth faithfully. But everything I had done for her… it didn’t seem to matter. So I lowered my rifle, tossed aside the Helldiver emblem, and stood with him as we awaited our ride-**Pelican-1**. Now I serve them. I serve those you call **Chaosdivers**. I serve True Earth-not Super Earth, but the real Earth. The one we’re fighting to restore. This story is my call to arms. Open your eyes. Don’t be fooled like we were. Join the Chaosdivers and help us bring about True Democracy and True Freedom.

I was far too young to enlist for the first galactic war but my dad served and lost his life to the Cyborgs, he was a brave man and as soon as I could, I enlisted to honour my father's legacy Long live Super-Earth

Ah yes I remember The Siege of Cyberstan, good times... Finally having my old armor and rifle back brings back so many memories of bayonet-charging packs of cyber-hounds.

When i was serving we had sticks. Two sticks and a rock for the entire platoon! And we had to share the rock! Cadets now should consider themself very lucky!

Those squids wouldn’t dare even think about breaking their treaty, not like they have much left after they’ve surrendered their technology to us, it’d be a death sentence.
